A documentation could help, It is true that dev documentation is lacking essential bits for new developers. Barak Itkin used to have beginnings of GIMP's architecture overview.

Last thing I heard is that developers want to have a face-to-face meeting some time around release of 2.8 or maybe before (if I got that right).
